This was the front of my cardboard
And this was the back!
The service at church was so encouraging. Others who shared their testimony had incredible stories. Some had lost a child, lost their legs, overcame addiction, overcame an illness, lost their home to a tornado, were going to get divorced but then God healed their marriage.
The message was that the worst situation is not the end. The worst situation was that Jesus died. He was crucified for crimes he didn't commit. There was no hope. He was dead. But then on the 3rd day, He rose! There was hope! The worst situation did not win. Satan did not win! So when the worst things happen in our lives, we know it's not the end of our story.
Because Jesus lives, I know that one day I will be healed. God's timing is perfect and I'll keep running the race, even while I wait. No matter how long it takes. 6 years has nothing on eternity in Heaven!
After everyone had shared their testimony, we sang the song I Will Rise. This has been my favorite song since I got sick. The first time I heard it was one night after I had gotten home from the hospital right after I was diagnosed with Lyme. It's been my favorite song. I'm not sure that there was a dry eye during the Easter Service! God is so good! Here are the lyrics to I Will Rise. It goes with my favorite verse, "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever" Psalm 73:26
"There's a peace I've come to know
Though my heart and flesh may fail
There's an anchor for my soul
I can say 'It is well'
Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead
[Chorus:]
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise
There's a day that's drawing near
When this darkness breaks to light
And the shadows disappear
And my faith shall be my eyes
Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead
[Chorus:]
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise
And I hear the voice of many angels sing,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
And I hear the cry of every longing heart,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
[Chorus:]
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise"
Though my heart and flesh may fail
There's an anchor for my soul
I can say 'It is well'
Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead
[Chorus:]
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise
There's a day that's drawing near
When this darkness breaks to light
And the shadows disappear
And my faith shall be my eyes
Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead
[Chorus:]
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise
And I hear the voice of many angels sing,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
And I hear the cry of every longing heart,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
[Chorus:]
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise"
